Serena
Williams celebrating after winning her 53rd WTA
title by beating
Johanna Larsson 6-4, 6-1 in the final of the Swedish Open on Sunday in
Bastad, Sweden.
Serena Williams won her 53rd WTA title by beating Johanna Larsson 6-4, 6-1 in the final of the Swedish Open on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Swede broke to lead 3-1
in the first set before Williams fought back to 3-3. Larsson advanced to
4-3 before caving in to the American’s strong serve and losing the next
three games.
Williams dominated the second set, breaking Larsson’s serve twice.
‘’It was really good to come here and
win after a disappointing Wimbledon so hopefully this confidence will
help me for the rest of the year,’’ said Williams, who lost in the
fourth round at Wimbledon to Sabine Lisicki.
Larsson said ‘’at the crucial points I wasn’t really present, which was a shame.’’
Williams also defeated 76th-ranked Larsson in their only previous match in the Fed Cup earlier this year.
